Jersey and Guernsey
Jersey and Guernsey became postally independent on 1 October 1969 when they each issued their own inaugural series (see Jersey Post, Guernsey Post) although locally-produced stamps had been in use during the Occupation of the Channel Islands 1940–1945. The Bailiwick of Guernsey incorporates Alderney, Herm and Sark which all used the Guernsey issues from 1969. Alderney has issued its own stamps since 1983 and these are valid throughout the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

Famous quotes containing the word jersey:
“To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
